Should school prepare pupils for the business world?

The test question and the possible answers

School should do more to prepare pupils for the world of work and business.

What's at stake: The debate is about the mission of school: training citizens, or also preparing concretely for employment.

The left's argument

School's mission is to train free citizens, not just workers for companies.

The centre's argument

Develop apprenticeships and internships, without reducing general education.

The right's argument

Many young people leave school poorly prepared for work. Linking school and business helps.
